LOL! I can't believe that not a single person in that group saw anything wrong with that idea.
https://www.foxnews.com/us/west-virginia-governor-approves-firing-employees-nazi-salute West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice on Monday approved the termination of dozens of Corrections Academy trainees seen in a photograph appearing to give a Nazi salute. The photograph, released publicly earlier this month by the West Virginia Department of Military Affairs and Public Safety, showed more than 30 trainees from Basic Training Class 18 with their arms raised in a salute. The caption “Hail Byrd!” – a reference to the trainees’ instructor – is visible above the group. |

Dumb idea but those cadets have a case for wrongful dismissal
An instructor made them greet her like that or face punishment while in the academy. Most of them are 19-21 year old kids Stupid decisions and it’s likely done but the blame lays on the instructors |

WV nazi salute to Byrd, their instructor.
I DON'T believe in coincidence . Senator Byrd (D) WV KKK member Ya, they knew exactly what they were doing. Fuck em... good terminate Wikipedia quote below: "Robert Carlyle Byrd was an American politician who served as a United States Senator from West Virginia for over 51 years, from 1959 until his death in 2010. A member of the Democratic Party, Byrd previously served as a U.S. Representative from 1953 until 1959". "In the early 1940s, Byrd recruited 150 of his friends and associates to create a new chapter of the Ku Klux Klan in Sophia, West Virginia". |

And not one person involved thought this was a bad idea enough to say...hey lets not photograph this? With that lack of common sense and poor decision making, I wouldn't want them working for the gov either....it is already full of morons. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes |

Yet you can wear black face or a klan hood and still be Governor of Virginia.

Welcome to 2019 where holding your hand a certain way can land you on the unemployment wagon. I hope nobody ever pulls up a photo of me hailing an uber

Yet the black females at West Point had nothing done to them doing the black power raised fist salute in their group pic. Both groups should be looking for other employment, IMO.

I am outraged, outraged I tell you.
Oh no wait, idgaf. It’s clearly a joke, do people really think they are all white supremacists or nazis? Everyone needs to fucking chillax. |

I hate peer pressure. Someone obviously convinced a few of them and it snowballed into the entire group.

If that's true, it's pretty messed up. And with that in mind, it would seem they're taking a parting jab at her. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Found the closeted KKK apologist. By the way, "hailing" an uber by sticking your arm out isn't even a thing. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes |

Its still amazing to me that people fail to think of the optics in this day and age. I'm sorry but if these cadets can't think critically and decide for themselves if doing this was a good idea, then good firing.
And before anyone says "well they had to because the instructor made them" just remember, anyone thinking critically would say "ok then, report me for not sieg hailing you" and watch the instructor get shitcanned instead. |

One looks black and another held up his left hand. Hmmm.....

Who are the big girls dressed like Olive Garden hostesses at either end?
Are they instructors or just someone's girlfriends who got into the photo? |

Well, when it takes only a little more than a month to train them, I'm sure they can have a new crop in there lickety-split!
